Lost Planet 2 – did it get what it deserved?

The sales they deserveSo I see yet again publishers are going to try and blame something other than the quality of their games for not selling. If Red Dead Redemption and Super Mario Galaxy 2 were the best sellers for May don’t they realise that this is because they were also the best quality?

Those other games like Alan Wake , Blur and Lost Planet 2 were all disappointments. They might not have been awful, but they weren’t top notch must haves and I don’t think they deserved to sell much more.

If a game is good and it’s the sort of thing lots of people would like it will always do well.PrestonFRight game, wrong consoleWhat a game Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is! My game of the year so far by far! My gripe (as there always is one isn’t there?) is why is it on the PSP? On the consoles/PC it would be all over t’Internet and gaming press as game of the decade (in my opinion).

All the PSP2 needs is a second analogue stick and updated graphics with a reasonable price attached and the 30+ year old gamers like me would surely make it a success. What do you and readers think?Geoff BurstNothing to smile aboutPlease oh please do you clever folks at GameCentral know if Deathsmiles will ever be released over here for the Xbox 360? I love my retro shoot ’em-ups and this game looks like a lot of fun. Love the graphics as well. Cheers for your help.Royboy125 (gamertag/PSN ID)GC:It’s hard to say, as neither the Japanese nor American publisher has any offices in Europe. That means a European publisher would have to pick it up, which so far none have.Silent choiceMy choice for an HD update for a game would be Silent Hill. The original is still the best but it looks so ugly and old now it’s almost unplayable. I’d much rather see this than another stupid sequel that doesn’t get what made the original great. Especially if it’s not even going to have the proper music any more.Stegosaurs Rex

Internet-onlyThis past week I didn’t have access to the Internet and imagine my surprise that when attempting to use any downloadable content, most of my Xbox Live Arcade games and all my Indie Games on my 360 were inaccessible whilst offline. When I tried playing Xbox Live Arcade or Indie games I got the message ‘To play this game sign into Xbox Live’. Don’t even get me started on my Rock Band downloadable content (which i have spent easily £300+ on) Thanks Microsoft for rewarding my loyalty so well.Kip SuppThe true endingRE: Andyshambles. Having played through the whole story till the credits rolled, I’m not really sure why the end of Red Dead Redemption would make anyone well up and cry. Apart from being disappointed that this utterly fantastic game is finished that is.

The ending I saw gave me a wry smile from ear to ear. A fantastic end to a truly classic game. I think Andy may be mistaking a key plot shift towards the end of the game for the actual end itself. To be honest, I made this error too, until if finished the game proper and the credits rolled…ThePenetrator79 (gamertag)The same but differentRE: Spartas Edge. The first person shooter is the most popular genre in gaming. I am not a platforming fan, but I am able to recognise that Mario, Sonic, Rachet & Clank, and LittleBigPlanet couldn’t be any more different from one another for games within the same genre, and that is in terms of both graphics and gameplay.G1OAT (gamertag)The Gimmick of ZeldaNot to dig up an old argument but I think the reason most people are disappointed in what they’ve seen of the new Zelda is that it doesn’t seem to have anything new except the controls. Everything else seemed to be exactly the same as always.

But you know how secretive Nintendo are, I’m willing to bet there’s a lot about the game we don’t yet know. Maybe even that it’s got another gimmick as important as the motion controls.Col.

Long may its commercial success continue!PACE UK (gamertag)/PACE_UK (PSN ID)My girlfriend made me a birthday cake in the shape of a Mario mushroom.
